Thomas Rhett admits when he was younger, he was a little mischievous when it came to the 4th of July.

“We used to have bottle rocket wars in our backyard,” he reveals in audio provided by the Big Machine Label Group. “We would all get in tree houses and shoot bottle rockets at tree houses, which, looking back, we could all be blind by now with all the bottle rockets we shot at each other.”

And after bottle rockets, he graduated to fireworks. “I never really worked the firework tent,” he continues. “But a lot of my buddies used to work firework tents, so I’d always go get discounts on fireworks and shoot them all.”
